[QUOTE="ReillyJ, post: 93684, member: 17394"] My husband is 69 and has been on TRT (100 mg a week, i inject him twice weekly) since Mid Oct. His starting numbers BEFORE TRT were: Total: 304 Free: 23.3 Test in late December (Endo refused to take a Free T) Total T: 789 That was in a "trough" so to speak. He shoots SUN and WED night and that test was taken the morning before his WED shot. Endo refuses to check Estradiol Have very low funds but sprung for tests ourselves and this is the test results from last week: Total: 560 Free: 3.1 (huh??? ) Estradiol sensitive: 24.7 Forgot to add that these are two different labs with different reference ranges. Maybe i shouldn't worry so much about the Free T... Those tests were taken THURS. We delayed WED's shot because we couldn't get to the lab until Thurs and so we gave him a shot that night. His Free T is lower than ever??? I don't know what to do about all of this since i am basically trying to be his doctor, the only thing Endo is good for is Rx'ing the shots and maybe ordering Total T which Medicare pays for. I'm not kidding when i say we have very little funds to keep doing testing ourselves. He does take Optizinc at least 60 mg. Magnesium, D-3 (5,000 IU), DHEA, liver support since he does have non alcoholic liver cirrhosis, DIM, etc. Endo did not test SGBH. I can try to talk him into it but he's disinterested. We are still working on his thyroid, he's taking NDT and may have to lower it a bit as his Free T3 came back a bit high and yes we had to pay for that one, also. ANY advice and input would be greatly appreciated. Susie [/QUOTE]
